![]() ![]() Like they just post a concept and ask for approval without a written explanation or visual guidance on what the thinking and support for the design approach is. I've hired designers who are incredibly talented but extremely unorganized. I'm suggesting that you try to develop a standardized workflow/design process format for your site and fill each stage with excerpts from that portion of the project so it's clear that you know how a design studio operates. ![]() I want to assume that most know the structural portion of working in design but it's often not the case and having that smack me across the face on a first view of your portfolio is something I value.Īlso - when I say to explain your work I don't necessarily mean in writing, although that's helpful to see someone who can communicate well in written format. It sends the message that this person will be able to take direction and assets and run with the project rather than needing someone to give them detailed steps for completion. Being able to speak through your work and detail your processes is important for me. ![]() I work as an art director in North County SD and whenever I'm looking to hire I always gravitate to portfolios that have case studies - even if it's student work.

If you’re applying for junior positions, you’ll likely be tasked with a lot of production work. It is the most important part of presenting to a client, so you absolutely need to show that you know how to do that by including a brief in your case studies. One of the biggest tasks of being a designer is being able to talk through and rationalize your work. You NEED to include the challenge and the solution.
